INDOMPTABLE

June 8, 1990 Milan Italy 22 men are guilty of a crime of lèse-majesté that causes a global earthquake and will change the face of Africa forever in the eyes of the world. Their name: The Indomitable Lions. By beating Diego Maradona's Argentina, the reigning world champions, in the opening match of the 1990 World Cup, Cameroon launched the most formidable epic in African sport, with unimaginable socio-political ramifications. From now on, there will be a post-World Cup 90 period, just as there is a post-Berlin Wall period.
